Hi recently got a smart 81incubator second hand with no instructions would appreciate any advice tried a batch thermometer I used said 37.5 all way through turned eggs twice daily and kept water topped up eggs all seemed fertile until about day 15 then didn't develop any further any advice most welcome cheers

Water dish might be too large, try running it with lower humidity. If its possible, I like to turn the eggs 3 times a day (every 8 hours) as I found it gets better hatch rates and not as critical if you accidentally miss a turn. They are good machines, well known to keep their temperatures spot on. Laurie Smart is the brains behind these machines, he sets them up so the temperature is spot on before sending out a unit. If you still have issues, you should contact him as I found Laurie to be very knowledgeable and helpful.
